This past weekend marked what would have been Bob Marley's 76th birthday, if he had not passed away from Melanoma in 1981 at the age of 36. While his story is a tragic one, there are many celebrities living full lives with skin cancer today. Some you may know, others perhaps not.

Unfortunately as skin cancer is indeed the most common cancer - it affects millions of people worldwide and celebrities are no exception. Do you recognize any of the faces below?

1. Hugh Jackman. This Australian actor is one of the many survivors who have a loved one to thank for spotting skin cancer for them! It was only until Hugh's wife insisted on getting checked by a dermatologist that he finally went. Later, he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma.

3. Ewan McGregor. In 2008, a then 37 year-old Ewan did the right thing and had a mole on his face looked at by a dermatologist. It later turned out to be skin cancer, and he had a few more moles removed as a precaution.

After a scare in 2008, Ewan McGregor makes sure to wear sunscreen consistently.

4. Jesse Tyler Ferguson. This American actor known for his role on TV show Modern Family was only recently diagnosed and treated for skin cancer. He posted the following image on his Instagram account mentioning his treatment.

As a fair-skinner redhead, Jesse is unfortunately more susceptible to skin cancer.

5. Melanie Griffith. In 2009, this actress had skin cancer removal surgery under her eyelid. A spokeswoman said that the surgery was a preventative measure and was done early enough to prevent future complications.

Melanie Griffith was lucky enough to have caught her skin cancer early on.

It's important to know that anyone can be affected by skin cancer, young and old. The best precautions are to stay sun-smart and get your skin checked regularly by a dermatologist. It can save your life.
